My 2023 Wrangler keeps its USB ports powered for about an hour after I shut it off, so my wireless CarPlay adapter stays awake and my iPhone keeps using the Jeep’s microphone from inside the house. There’s no setting to fix it. Here’s what does.
Five years after Connecticut said it would be one of the first states with driver’s licenses in Apple Wallet, its Mobile ID launches as a separate app instead, with Wallet support pushed to 2027. Here’s how that ends.

Last year I wrote about how absurd it was that Minecraft Bedrock had no native Apple Silicon build. I’m writing basically the same post again, because nothing has changed. If anything, it’s gotten a little worse. Where things actually stand in 2026 A quick refresher on the shape of the problem, since it hasn’t moved:…
